Root explorer fix

Hi

The reason Root Explorer comes with that error is because the system folder is mounted ass read only (you can't edit anything on it)

Fix:

1. Browse to system/app

2. In the upper right corner there is a mount R/W button, press it

3. Now you can read and write and therefore also delete the browser.apk

4. Remember to mount as R/O when done
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederikh:
It doesn't free up space as they are located in /system and regular apps are installed in /data.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Thanks not sure how I missed that, lol. Can I also delete the Browser.odex file?

I've just checked my /data folder and its empty. Does this mean that apps are included as part of HTC Sense even when uninstalled do not free up space?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Make sure you're looking in /data and not /sdcard/data because /data should not be empty. Removing those Sense apps will only free up space on your /system partition which does not give you more free space for apps because they are stored on a different partition (/data).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Ah I see it now thanks, I was looking with Astro instead of Root Explorer.

Though now I can't locate any of the apps or widgets I removed. I'm looking in /data/data and also /data/apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Anyone?

Cheers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
System apps/widgets are stored on the /system/app folder and when removed do not add any more space to install new apps as they go to /data/app

There's only 2 ways to get more space for apps:

1. Change the MTD using a new HBOOT from AlphaRev (making sure your ROM fits); or

2. A2SD+

Our phone has the same HW of honeycomb tablet and a good 4'' screen, so HC should work great on it. Why don't crate a custom rom? Most of drivers should be the same too :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] dario3040:
Its not that simple, and even if it was, google hasn't released the honeycomb sourcecode.

Honycomb doesn't fit phones good anyway
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
it woudn't be that easy cause google won't be releasing HC's sources any time soon. and i think honeycomb was designed to fit on a larger screen.

i Heard 2.4(w/c is said to be Icecream) will be a combination of 3.0 and 2.3... im not sure though so im expecting 2.4 to be a really big update.
[LG Optimus 2x] michael2041:
2.4 is just a new gingerbread.. for example its like getting upgraded from 2.0 eclair to 2.1 eclair. i think its 3.1 that will be the huge merge of honeycomb & gingerbread
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nepentanova:
I installed a no - sense rom yesterday (Android_Revolution_HD-4G_3.2 with Android_Revolution_HD_no-sense_Gingerbread_Launcher)

when using menu - settings - personalize, i get sent back to my (blank) homepage -should i see a menu that allows 'personalization'.

tried wiping and reinstalling the rom, this time using No-Sense++3.2 to remove sense, and still the same thing.

could anybody with a vanilla rom tell me what they see when the select the personalize item?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
Vanilla Android doesn't have this item in its settings-menu.

On Sense roms, this menu will allow you to change wallpapers, add widgets to the home-screen and set ringtones. (and also change Scenes, whatever thats supposed to be useful for)

On Vanilla-Android you can archieve most of that by just long-tapping the homescreen, ringtones are set up in different places and Scenes aren't even available (as they are a Sense feature)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nepentanova:
thanks for that, thought there was something strange.

what true 'vanilla android' roms are available that you would recommend?

tried those mentioned below, but seems strange that they have the menu icon for personalize that doesn't do anything??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
well, I for myself like Sense, I use Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta 4.

On my Milestone I used Cyanogenmod. It's not entirely vanilla, but I'd say it's close enough;) At least, you won't find any Sense-related stuff;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nepentanova:
don't get me wrong, i quite like sense, especially its style and widgets.

being new to android i want to check out the options to find my own personal preference.

have tried cyanogen 7, but unfortunately had problems with the flash plugin not working with bbc iplayer and youtube, and no easy fix that i could find.

after seeing sense (!) i have to say its a nice ui. but wanted to try a rom with vanilla android (i think termed aosp?). i just found it strange the behavoiur of menu - settings - customise in the de-sensed rom i had..

[Android Apps and Games] SlimJ87D:
Hello everyone. First let me explain that I have a capped data plan since I'm surrounded by wifi besides work.

Now here is my question. On my old tilt and tilt 2 which were windows based were capable of getting internet from simply plugging them into a PC via USB. The phone would then use internet from the computer itself.

I have a galasxy s (captivate) . Are there any apps to do such a feat?
[Android Apps and Games] SxcKieranGrr:
I might have completely misunderstood what your saying, but could you not turn the wifi on from your phone and connect to them?
[Android Apps and Games] SlimJ87D:
Wifi is not allowed at my work. Sorry should have said that.
[Android Apps and Games] varunoza:
i hope you are using windows 7 on your laptop...if you are,then download 'connectify'...its easy to set up and will turn your laptop into a wifi hotspot so that you can use your laptops internet connection on your phone... cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Its possible

It is possible. But there is a but.

It is a standard feature of HTC sync.... To connect your device to your laptop and use its internet connection.

So....I guess someone have to extract that functionality and pack it into something that works on all devices...

I use it quite a lot.. And I have removed sense from my revolution rom with a script from desire forum.

Good luck

[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
So thank you devs, each and everyone of you! You guys continue to do selfless work without expecting anything in return even though what you do often deserves a decent price tag on it. So even though I'm not that wealthy and can only make donations every so often (which I don't feel I do enough) and 85% (and that's being generous) of the leeches who come to this site never give back, never appreciate, and never donate. I speak from all of us that at least give you our gratitude and respect if we can't afford more when I say THANK YOU for every new rom, for helping me un-brick my device, for holding my hand through every hiccup, and for kicking me in the ass when I get out of line... and just in general THANK YOU.
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
AGREED!!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
I agree as well!!! Android would not be what it is, and certainly not as fun as it is, without you!!!
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
Nothing like sucking up...to who i dont have any idea....they know they are appreciated and not in this for a profit nor personal gain.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Well, I see the token troll has made his appearance!

If you cannot contribute positively then move on... does it really help to post nonsense?!

I agree with the OP!! Thank you to all developers. I truly appreciate your work... some people are ungrateful and take the work you do for granted.

I honestly feel that Android would not be where it was today without the phenomenal development work!
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
To be honest most people who come in here just come for what they want and leave, that isn't appreciation, neither is that same person coming in and creating a thread about how little they do. The amount of appreciation is far outweighed by the amount of un-appreciation.

Not to mention just because devs know they're appreciated doesn't mean we can't say thanks, how hard is that?
[Thunderbolt General] JDawg68:
Nicely said OP. I am such a n00b (first smartphone), and the willingness of those here to help people like me is greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc8081:
So im looking for a folder app with these features:

-Custom icon size/coulmns

-And so it hides apps I already put in a folder so it's easier to organize.

I tried simi folders app but didn't hide apps I already had in a folder. Go launcher does hide the apps tho but i dont like that launcher.

Any suggestions? Please?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
What do you mean hide apps already in folder? When creating a different folder?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You could use Folder Organizer (the paid version). You get custom icons, but not a number of columns/rows. There is automatically a group called "Other Apps" - this groups all of the apps that aren't yet labelled. From the main screen you can go to labels > other apps, then assign labels to the apps inside the group. As the apps are labelled, the group gets smaller. There's also an option to receive a notification when a new app is installed. When you tap on the notification, it allows you to assign labels at that time. You can put folders in folders if you're super OCD like I am.

It doesn't have everything you asked for, but it's pretty awesome. There's a free version without custom icons for apps/shortcuts/bookmarks/contacts, but you still get custom icons for folders. I'd say try it out, if you want to buy the full version just export your settings from the free version & import them to the paid version.

EDIT: My spelling of labelled looks wrong, is it? "Labeled" looks even stranger though.

EDIT #2: While you can't specify columns/rows, there are multiple options for the look of the folder. You can also create a custom skin for the folder, with colors & transparency that you choose.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc8081:
Ok thanks. And yes i meant when creating a new folder in don't want to see the other apps. So i dont have an app in multiple folders

How is Incredible's overclocking capability?

I've seen that DZ could be overclocked to 1516MHz(with CM7 ROM).

Will Incredible have such performance?

Do QUALCOMM 1 and QUALCOMM 2 have big diffenrence?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Running ziggy471's latest BFS w HAVS kernel, you can overclock to 1.228, but most Inc's can do 1.113 safely with out lockups or reboots. Depending on the hardware, some people can go to 1.15 or 1.19 and not have issues.

Variation due to materials, batch, and manufacturing tolerances. It's the same story with overclocking any processor in any computer:

It's also why different people can undervolt to different levels.

[Atrix 4G General] mywax:
Seem to be missing under 'Settings > Call settings > Blacklist' on Bell Atrix. Can I get to the option by rooting the phone?

I'm trying to block annoying text message alerts for new voicemail that are sent from network (Bell says can't turn off from their side and now I get two alerts every time I receive a VM).

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Try Mr. Number from the Market. It's free, and blocks both calls and texts.
[Atrix 4G General] mywax:
Thanks will check it out.

Maybe a stupid question but would using an app to do this consume more resources than if the OS handled it?
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Probably a slight bit, but regardless of where this process runs, whether it be system or user app, it'll still take resources.

I've only seen built-in blacklisting in CM roms, never in any stock device roms.
[General Questions and Answers] igorb81:
I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.

I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.

As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.

I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.

Please help me if you can.
[General Questions and Answers] igorb81:
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far.

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:

- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)

- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
[General Questions and Answers] igorb81:
Fixed!!!

After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.

This may be useful to someone later on.

Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tarik_9812:
Note: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A ROM UPDATE!!!

Okay... My HD2 has had Android on NAND since last year. No big problems with it, until last week, when it FROZE when I charged it (the screen was still on, but that was it...). I took out the battery and re-inserted it a number of times, and it all seemed OK...

...Until it happened again.

Only this time, it didn't turn on AT ALL. I'm no good at explaining things, so bear with me on this one:

You know how the phone has a very soft and short vibration, followed by a more intense, longer one when turning on the HD2? well, the phone only does the short and soft one, and that's about it... Nothing else...

Does anyone here know what's going on? Is there any way to fix this without returning it? If I do have to return it, is there any way I can retrieve the data on the internal memory? Will they be able to see the flashed ROM?

(Note: It's past its warranty.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jvillejoe:
Have you tried to get into boot loader mode? Also who is your provider? Last but not least....You said it was charging and you had the screen on? I don't know about you or anyone else but when I charge my phone I make sure the screens off. It just gets hot while its charging with the screen on. If you have done this more than once it might be damaged from the heat.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
mine only vibrates once when I turn it on, not sure what second one you're talking about.

hold the down arrow when you turn it on and see if you can get into the tri-color screen, you can flash WM6.5 or whatever from there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Past its warranty?

I thought HTC gave 24 months of warranty worldwide?!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
i thought that aswell
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tarik_9812:
@jvillejoe:

I have tried to go into bootloader mode, yet nothing happens. My HD2 is from Telstra (I live down under in Australia). Lastly, the charge light doesn't come up if I plug it in while the screen's off, so I have to plug it in while it's on, and then I can lock it as I please. I think it's a NAND-related problem.

@orangekid:

There's an almost unfeelable, really quiet vibration about a second before the usual normal one. To hear it, just put the phone next to your ear (not necessarily the speaker) and turn it on. If that doesn't work, it might be because it only happens on a Telstra phone (I honestly have no idea). And no, it won't let me into the tri-colour screen.

@lukesan:

24 months? I always thought it was 12! Well if I do ship it in, will they be able to detect the flashed rom/illegal Android/everything else? How much jail time do I get if they do?

This isn't the first time it's happened. It's happened about 4 times before, even when it wasn't charging. It usually fixed itself when I took out and re-inserted the battery a couple of times. Are these freezes a result of an app going haywire? Does somebody know the cause!?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tarik_9812:
No it couldn't be that... It slightly vibrates a few seconds after I re-insert the battery and then does nothing... but I did notice that the phone would make these small vibrations every once in a while if I leave the battery in, which has convinced me that the battery isn't the problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
That really sounds like a dead HD2. Them vibrations usually happens when people flash a European HD2 radio on a US.

What happens when you plug it in to your PC? Can you hear a little sound to know that the phone is connected?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] drinizi:
I had a similar problem (minus the soft vibration). You should try a different charge battery. If that does not help to get in boot-loader screen, I hope your phone is still under warranty.
